Abstract: A cradle for an infant carrier formed of spaced apart upright side frames and adapted along their undersurface for placement on a floor or other suitable flat surface. Securing the side frames together at a lower level are a plurality of parallel slats transversely extending between the side frames whereas a pair of transverse bars at the front and rear of the side frame secure the side frames at a relatively upper level. Secured at opposite ends to the front and rear bars for extending between the side frames in a generally longitudinal direction is a slack length of canvas disposed in a generally catenary formation therebetween. The front and rear bars along with the underlying length of canvas define a cradle support for a carrier placed thereon while strap means extending laterally from each of the side frames can be buckled together for securing the carrier and infant in place.
